> Cash handouts do not cause the behavioral changes necessary for individuals to develop sustainable habits. That's because cash handouts given are usually not even close to being enough to develop sustainable habits. #1 help in developing a sustainable habit is receiving an education that allows an individual to pursue a better job. Education is very expensive in the US. It is doubly expensive if the adult in question has to take care of dependents. AFAIK, there's not a single program that would come close to let an adult improve their education, while also helping them take care of kids.
